The name of G. w. Bolton, of
PinevilIe, is guarantee of fairness
among the people of this parish.
They have tried him time after
time and never found him wanting.
All the year round he does good
business, and, in the fall when cot
ton comes in, the rush to accommo-
date the crowds that throng his
double store is something cheerful
to witness. He always sells at the
very smallest living profits, and his
goods never fail to be as repre-
sented. Thus year after year he
has grown in popularity with the
people, and his business has in
creased accordingly, until the
amount of goods now handled by
him is simply enormous. He keeps
a full line of everything, dry goods,
boots and shoes, groceries, hard
ware, furniture, ETC., ETC., all sold on
the smallest margin possible.

2. Then taking all the first let

The people have made up their
minds to accept almost any change as
preferable to the irresponsible personal
government, which we now have. We
are satisfied from personal knowledge,
that Gen. Nichols would be acceptable
10 the best members of the Republican
party, on account of his well known
honesty and liberality.
But great opposition to his nomina-
ton seems to be anticipated by Gen.
Nichols friends, and they thus bring
his name before the people thus early
for discussion, hoping to create such
boom, as will overpower all opposi-
ton to unanimous nomination.. 1t
must Lot be forgotten that the Nc
Emery people are all politicians of an
INSCRIPTIONS disposition and that they
hold the reins of government in their
possession as we'll as the machinery
foI holding the elections, which is a
great power for evil in desperate hands,
and Judging them from their EAST per
formances in ways that are dark, and
tricks that are not in vain, it will be
q miracle if Gen. Nichols can get the
nomination or be elected.-Town Talk.

DIED.

GRAY-In Evergreen, Avoyelles parish,
La, at 5 a. M, Tuesday. August 30. 1887.
EUGENE, son of ]. X. and d. q. Gray,
aged 10 years, 5 months and % days.
Eugene was a dutiful son and very
lovely character. always elicitinR the
confidence and admiration of all who
knew him. He was noted for his love Of
truth and his freedom from those inn
moralities that sometimes stain the lives
of our young men. He was perfectly
resigned in the hour of death, looking
from the borders of Time to the hills
from whence cometh all our help. He
beheld the Lamb OF God that taketh
away the sin Of the world. He confessed
Christ as his Saviour from all sin and
death. He did not fear to die, and, with
out murmur, sweetly and gently passed
away into the rest that is promised to
the departing spirit of just men perfected
in the righteousness of God. He was
buried from the Baptist church of this
place, and laid to rest by friendly hands
in the Baptist cemetery, there to await
the resurrection of the just. We are not
to sorrow as those who have no hope, for
them that sleep in Jesus will God bring
with Him. HENRY BENNETT,
Pastor of the Baptist Church, Evergreen,

On Wednesday night about 9
o'clock the store of the Carnahan
brothers was broken into, and some
50 or So worth of goods stolen.
The thieves were evidently young
sters, as they took but little of real
value, combining their haul to a jar
OF candy liar and all), 20 or 25
boxes of oysters, salmon, ETC., a
layer of stage-plank ginger cakes,
and one or two other small items.
A slight clue as to the thieves has
been obtained, and it is to be hoped
that they will be caught and dealt
with by the law.

The cotton worms in this parish
commenced to make considerable
show about the 9Th inst, and at
this writing have in many places
denuded the weed of all foliage.
The damage to the crop is esti-
mated at from 20 to % per cent.
In other words, putting the average
crop in the river bottom at 400
pounds of lint to the acre, the
crop will now average nearly 300
pounds to the acre-a little more
than half bale. We understand
that in the hills our farmers expect
to make about 200 pounds of lint
to the acre.

such u general revival of trade at
